New: Joyce's typists; Joyce's deletions, commas, compounds, other punctuation
"The reason for capitalization rules, or for that matter any style rules, is to encourage consistency throughout a publication in order to eliminate distractions for the reader." [Chicago Manual]"There can be no question but that Joyce consciously developed a personal system [for capitalization]." --John Kidd
[I'm having to figure out the arrangement of this page as I go along, so it keeps changing radically.]
Creating an authoritative edition of Ulysses will require solving numerous extremely thorny theoretical questions, one of the thorniest of which is how to handle inconsistent capitalisation.
Possible strategies include:
Ideally, we'd like to find a set of principles that will allow a computer program to flag likely capitalisation errors by any author with as high a degree of sensitivity as possible.
Realistically, we'll settle for an analysis of the sorts of variables that can influence the decision, to help us articulate our choices more precisely.
In general, Joyce's style with caps was the same as his style with all punctuation-- you don't use it at all unless it serves an esthetic end.
But this principle led him to some rules of thumb that he observed more or less closely, and we need to document these individually.
Kidd: "The conventions for capitalization have undergone considerable changes in English (and some other languages) in the period since 1700, and Joyce's practice can be considered idiosyncratic. There can be no question but that Joyce consciously developed a personal system, though it is unevenly applied. Observing Joyce's habits will not solve all the problems for an editor hoping to lend a belated hand to the author because Joyce is so often quoting printed materials, constructing parodies, and shifting narrative voices that many apparent inconsistencies may appear intentional on second glance, then lose their significance on the third or fourth examination."

Gabler on his editorial policy: "Normalisation affecting every episode is confined to a consistent introduction of lower-case initial letters for 'street, 'road' etc. in Dublin street names. Joyce became increasingly regular in writing them with miniscule initials." (Danis Rose has taken this as far as calling it "Finnegans wake"!??)
Kidd: "Gabler's editorial policy of lowering capitals to conform with Joyce's general tendency to the 'down style' is in the abstract uncontroversial, but as in the preceding categories of emendation, the application is exasperatingly inconsistent..."

6.120 "Mr Bloom put his head out of the window. --The grand canal, he said."
6.438 "Crossguns bridge: the royal canal."
10.1273 "At the Royal Canal bridge, from his hoarding, Mr Eugene Stratton, his blub lips agrin, bade all comers welcome to Pembroke township."
(J wrote 'Bridge', G accepts typist's de-cap )
15.2140 "Stop press edition. Result of the rockinghorse races. Sea serpent in the royal canal. Safe arrival of Antichrist."
17.176 "prohibited the use of municipal water for purposes other than those of consumption (envisaging the possibility of recourse being had to the impotable water of the Grand and Royal canals as in 1893) particularly as the South Dublin Guardians, notwithstanding their ration of 15 gallons per day per pauper"
17.983 "J. and T. Davy, family grocers, 1 Charlemont Mall, Grand Canal"
The Circe example bothers me most, here.
5.546 "Your Christmas dinner for threepence."
8.666 "Saint Patrick converted him to Christianity."
13.334 "It was Gerty who turned off the gas at the main every night and it was Gerty who tacked up on the wall of that place where she never forgot every fortnight the chlorate of lime Mr Tunney the grocer's christmas almanac, the picture of halcyon days where a young gentleman in the costume they used to wear then with a threecornered hat was offering a bunch of flowers to his ladylove with oldtime chivalry through her lattice window."
15.443 "Do you remember, harking back in a retrospective arrangement, Old Christmas night, Georgina Simpson's housewarming while they were playing the Irving Bishop game, finding the pin blindfold and thoughtreading?"
17.32 "Bloom assented covertly to Stephen's rectification of the anachronism involved in assigning the date of the conversion of the Irish nation to christianity from druidism by Patrick son of Calpornus, son of Potitus, son of Odyssus, sent by pope Celestine I in the year 432 in the reign of Leary to the year 260 or thereabouts in the reign of Cormac MacArt ( 266 A.D.), suffocated by imperfect deglutition of aliment at Sletty and interred at Rossnaree."
17.442 "of the second edition (30 January 1893) of the grand annual Christmas pantomime Sinbad the Sailor (produced by R Shelton 26 December 1892"
17.1638 "To Master Percy Apjohn at High School in 1880 he had divulged his disbelief in the tenets of the Irish (protestant) church (to which his father Rudolf Virag (later Rudolph Bloom) had been converted from the Israelitic faith and communion in 1865 by the Society for promoting Christianity among the jews) subsequently abjured by him in favour of Roman catholicism at the epoch of and with a view to his matrimony in 1888."
17.1814 "a nurse, Miss Callan (Christian name unknown)"
J was otherwise consistent in not capping 'christian', even in 'christian name' at 6.881 and 12.640
18.62 "all his fault of course ruining servants then proposing that she could eat at our table on Christmas day if you please O no thank you not in my house"
8.4 "Lozenge and comfit manufacturer to His Majesty the King."
8.663 "That last pagan king of Ireland Cormac in the schoolpoem choked himself at Sletty southward of the Boyne."
9.151 "king Hamlet"
G reverts to ms K, blaming typist
9.470 "The poisoning and the beast with two backs that urged it King Hamlet's ghost could not know of were he not endowed with knowledge by his creator."
10.845 "Secret of all secrets. Seal of King David."
10.1232 "Where the foreleg of King Billy's horse pawed the air Mrs Breen plucked her hastening husband back from under the hoofs of the outriders."
12.1253 "Wine, peltries, Connemara marble, silver from Tipperary, second to none, our farfamed horses even today, the Irish hobbies, with king Philip of Spain offering to pay customs duties for the right to fish in our waters."
12.1498 "His Majesty the King loves Her Majesty the Queen."
14.1588 "Shout salvation in King Jesus."
15.859 "The King versus Bloom. Call the woman Driscoll."
15.1413 "The van of the procession appears headed by John Howard Parnell, city marshal, in a chessboard tabard, the Athlone poursuivant and Ulster King of Arms."
15.2785 "Near the end, remembering king David and the Sunamite, he shared his bed with Athos, faithful after death."
15.3949 "Ulster king at arms! Haihoop!"
15.4519 "Up the soldiers! Up King Edward!"
17.433 "the respective visits of Their Royal Highnesses the duke and duchess of York (real) and of His Majesty King Brian Boru (imaginary):"
5,42 "Vance in High school cracking his fingerjoints, teaching."
8.186 "Sheet of her music blew out of my hand against the High school railings."
13.134 "Only now his father kept him in in the evenings studying hard to get an exhibition in the intermediate that was on and he was going to go to Trinity college to study for a doctor when he left the high school like his brother W. E. Wylie who was racing in the bicycle races in Trinity college university."
13.909 "Women never meet one like that Wilkins in the high school drawing a picture of Venus with all his belongings on show."
14.1047 "That young figure of then is seen, precociously manly, walking on a nipping morning from the old house in Clanbrassil street to the high school, his booksatchel on him bandolierwise, and in it a goodly hunk of wheaten loaf, a mother's thought."
15.1404 "Boys from High school are perched on the lampposts, telegraph poles, windowsills, cornices, gutters, chimneypots, railings, rainspouts, whistling and cheering"
15.3010 "It was Gerald converted me to be a true corsetlover when I was female impersonator in the High School play Vice Versa."
15.3308 "Who came to Poulaphouca with the high school excursion? Who left his nutquesting classmates to seek our shade?"
G reverts to ms caps
15.3311 "High School of Poula? Mnemo?"
15.3325 "Halcyon Days, high school boys in blue and white football jerseys and shorts, Master Donald Turnbull, Master Abraham Chatterton, Master Owen Goldberg, Master Jack Meredith, Master Percy Apjohn, stand in a clearing of the trees and shout to Master Leopold Bloom."
G reverts to ms caps, overriding J
15.3335 "Hurray for the High School!"
17.521 "Though ringweight lifting had been beyond his strength and the full circle gyration beyond his courage yet as a High School scholar he had excelled in his stable and protracted execution of the half lever movement on the parallel bars in consequence of his abnormally developed abdominal muscles."
G reverts to ms Hss
17.550 "Substituting Stephen for Bloom Stoom would have passed successively through a dame's school and the high school."
17.1194 "The trajectories of their, first sequent, then simultaneous, urinations were dissimilar: Bloom's longer, less irruent, in the incomplete form of the bifurcated penultimate alphabetical letter, who in his ultimate year at High School (1880) had been capable of attaining the point of greatest altitude against the whole concurrent strength of the institution, 210 scholars: Stephen's higher, more sibilant, who in the ultimate hours of the previous day had augmented by diuretic consumption an insistent vesical pressure."
17.1635 "To Master Percy Apjohn at High School in 1880 he had divulged his disbelief in the tenets of the Irish (protestant) church (to which his father Rudolf Virag (later Rudolph Bloom) had been converted from the Israelitic faith and communion in 1865 by the Society for promoting Christianity among the jews) subsequently abjured by him in favour of Roman catholicism at the epoch of and with a view to his matrimony in 1888."

13.608 Billy Winks
12.1066 smashall sweeney's
12.1066 zouave
1.8 "Come up, you fearful jesuit!"
(J complained when someone capped this) A cap would hint that he was literally a Jesuit.
1.21 "Christine"
(J inserted this with a lowercase c, but okayed every subsequent copy with the cap.) Since we don't know what he meant by it, we're totally stuck!
1.181 "Bray Head"
G fails to de-cap this.
1.519 "Latin quarter hat"
(I think J wrote 'latin' somewhere, but all the refs I find to the language are capitalised)
1.582 "Panama hat"
'panama hat' seems quite plausible (see 9.1100)
1.585 "My mother's a jew"
I can't find anywhere J capped 'jew'
1.607 "What did he call it? Joseph the Joiner?"
Gogarty's version says "My mother's a Jew; my father's a Bird/ With Joseph the Joiner I cannot agree" [etext]
1.608 "The ballad of joking Jesus, Stephen answered."
caps would seem unJoycean here, overkill

1.653 "Symbol of the apostles in the mass for pope Marcellus"
1.658 "...the consubstantiality of the Son with the Father, and Valentine, spurning Christ's terrene body, and the subtle African heresiarch Sabellius who held that the Father was Himself His own Son"
1.665 "Nom de Dieu!"

G reverts to tempting ms no-cap
8.865 "Red bank oysters... He was in the Red Bank"
very messy: I'll accept G's restoring cap-B for 2nd only (the restaurant name). but the oysters themselves are from Red Bank south of Galway, not from a generic bank of the Red
